The Regional competitiveness index is the first measure of the degree of competitiveness at regional level covering all EU countries and their regions. The paper presents briefly the methodological frame of the RCI and then applies it to Bulgarian NUTS 2 regions. The results achieved show the relative ranking of Bulgaria and its regions in the EU and allow for conclusions to bе drawn about their strengths and weaknesses regarding the overall regional development and all 11 fields covered bу the RCI.
